Gestalten's Cutting Edges: Contemporary Collage

Gestalten, the German art book publisher, just released Cutting Edges: Contemporary Collage, edited by artist/curator James Gallagher. I'm pleased to be included this new volume. My work can be seen on pages 178 - 183. There are about 300 full-color pages; hard cover.

"Cutting Edges documents the new heyday of collage in current art and visual culture. Today’s artists, illustrators, and designers are increasingly drawn to this artistic technique by the challenges of seamlessly melding traditional craftsmanship with skilled computer montage. They are not only composing a wide variety of visual elements, but are also deliberately omitting, deleting, and destroying them. This book is an inspiring collection of these unique examples of contemporary collage."
